Taylor Root

Legal recruitment company opens in Dublin & Birmingham

Legal recruitment specialist Taylor Root has announced the launch of two new offices, located in Dublin and Birmingham, growing their total number of offices to 13 within ten countries.

The Dublin office will be headed up by Hamish Richmond, and will focus on legal recruitment across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Handling recruitment across the Midlands, the Birmingham office will be led by Darryn Hale, partner in the private practice division.

Hamish commented: ‘The Dublin launch is a very exciting time for Taylor Root. The Irish legal market has seen a period of sustained growth as a result of the strong economy and the effects of Brexit which has led to banks, companies and law firms looking to grow their capabilities in Dublin as well as other regions. We are looking forward to growing the Taylor Root brand across Ireland using our expertise and unrivalled global reach to meet our clients’ needs.’

Darryn added: ‘The regional recruitment markets are growing and changing rapidly. We already act for many of the firms who have a strong presence in Birmingham and these clients have been very encouraging of our ambition to establish an office in the City. Our reputation is built on the high-quality consultative service that we deliver to both Clients and candidates and we are looking forward to replicating this in the Midlands market.’
